Cantilever Beams  
scene 6 of 10
The figure shows a beam of length a plus b with the right end of the beam marked B. The x axis is taken along the length of the beam and the y axis is taken perpendicular to the beam at its left end. A load P 1 is directed vertically downwards at the left end of the beam and a load P 2 is directed vertically downwards at a distance a from the left end of the beam.

The figure shows a beam of length a plus b with the right end of the beam marked B. The x axis is taken along the length of the beam and the y axis is taken perpendicular to the beam at its left end. A uniformly distributed load w 1 is directed vertically downwards at a distance b from B. A load P 1 is directed vertically upwards at the left end of the beam.
The figure shows a beam of length a plus b plus c with the left end of the beam marked A. The x axis is taken along the length of the beam and the y axis is taken perpendicular to the beam at its left end. A load P 1 is directed vertically downwards at a distance a from A. A load P 2 is directed vertically downwards at a distance a plus b from A. A load P 3 is directed vertically downwards at a distance a plus b plus c from A.
